EDITORS COMMENTS
This image graces the front cover of The Sketch magazine from October 1929, featuring the elegant and fashionable Paula Gellibrand, wife of the 1st Marquis de Casa Maury. Dressed in a simple yet sophisticated black chiffon gown, Paula exudes an air of timeless beauty and grace. Her refined elegance is further accentuated by the stunning selection of diamond bracelets adorning her wrists. The Sketch magazine, a leading authority on fashion and society during the 1920s, commented on the popularity of bracelets as a fashionable form of jewellery at the time. "Bracelets are one of the most fashionable forms of jewellery of the moment," the magazine noted. Paula's elegant style and impeccable taste made her a prominent figure in society circles during the 1920s. Her appearance on the cover of The Sketch was a testament to her enduring fashion sense and her status as a trendsetter. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a decade of innovation and excitement. It was a time of flapper dresses, jazz music, and newfound freedom for women. Paula's classic yet modern look embodied the spirit of the era, making her a true fashion icon. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and fashionable subject, is a reminder of the elegance and sophistication of the past. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a moment in time that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
